OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY, Indications for Tennessee and the Ohio Valley Daring the day warmer southerly to K(kry Kinds, stationary or slowly falling baromettr and partly cloudy weather, very probably followed by rain during the night. It is said that the meeting of the Emperors of Austria and Germany at Gastien is a new guarantee of friendly relations. "J. E. Q. H.," one of the most bril liant writers on the regular staff of the New York Tribune, is writing some delightful letters from London. Reports from the East indicate that Count Andrassy, of Austria, is about to retire from the public service. No reason is assigned for this course. Zanesvii.le is in luck. Ex-Governor Dennison will speak there on the 20th. All of Blue Rock and the balance of Muskingum county should turn out to hear him. Formerly it was only the coach man. Now it is also the music teacher, The State Journal places itself here after firmly on the platform: Female music teachers or none and the pret tier the better. We have seen nothing in the humor ous line lately that was better than this capital bit of satire from yesterday'i Democrat : Since the Democracy gained control ot the law-making branches of the country there is a gradual improvement in the condition of our industries the result of confidence on the part of business men in the legislative wisdom of the Democracy Secretary Schtjrz is going off to visit somo of the most savage of our Indian tribes, and he will take in the Miami Tribe at Cincinnati, on the 20th Old-Man- Af raid-of-Resumption, Whoop- emup-Dollar-of-the-Daddies,Good-Man-the-Sun-shincs-for, and other Big Medi cine Men are expected to be present, to execute n scalp dance after the Council We have n beautiful conundrum for the editor of the "Columbus Democrat and Ohio Statesman." What ought to be done to a newspaper which publishes partisan special dispatches two days old, under heading as "Associated Press Dis patches" of yesterday? Is it fair dealing to palm off political buncombe for news? Is it tho perpendicular thing to quote a Democratic newspaper as an Associated Press dispatch? Tho average Democratic newspaper, you know, is about as much like a press dispatch as Ananias was like Epaminon- das. There seems to bo some mystery about the gathering of Democratic politicians at the Capital just now. Wo can explain it. Tho Democratic State Committee and the most promi nent men of tho party have met here to discuss our proposition for a joint debate between Ewing and Reemelin on the financial question. It was found that there was a demand for this thing the public mind, which had found voice in the State Journal, and it wbb deemed necessary to take the mat ter into consideration, It is thought best at present to hold in reserve all information as to steps taken, looking a meeting of these two greafcham- pions of opposing ideas on the subject the finances, but in due time we shall let our readers know full particulars. All who may wish to be informed on this subject should immediately subscribe for the State Journal. Reduced rates to clubs. The citizens of Steubenville will have the first opportunity to welcome our great Finance Minister to Ohio.., He makes his first speech in the Ohio cam paign at Steubenville, on the 20th of August. It is through his labors, more than any other man, that the Administration has brought about the resumption of specie payments, and the beginning of a new era of prosperity in every branch of business. This has been a work of sufficient difficulty in itself, but has been accomplished step by step against all the obstructions the Demo cratic party could devise. The worst and most deadly of these obstructives has been Thomas Ewing, who now asks us to make him Governor of Ohio. His assurance that resumption was impossible and that it would massacre the business of the country had hardly left his lips when resumption was an nc- complished fact, and the last echoes of Ewing's wail were drowned in the hum our reviving industries. In the light of facts Buch as these it is not difficult to Bee where statesmanship and safety to the country are to be found. If the people of Ohio are true to themselves their approval of the .Republican Administration will be no less marked than their disapproval of the obstructionists who have fought against the good time coming, with the energy of despair and the courage of a last hope. We should have mentioned yesterday that the Sunday Capital had an excellent article on "Journalistic Court esy." The Capital holds properly that courtesy is the characteristic of the gentleman, and it cannot see why jour nals, which may bo assumed to be edited and conducted by gentlemen, should not treat each other with the courtesy which rules among gentlemen, in their intercourse with each other. This seems to us sound as gospel truth. The readers of the State Journal will surely bear witness that it has uniformly met its contemporaries in this spirit. There is only one way for a gentleman to treat a blackguard who is insensible to the rules of courtesy, and that is, to decline intercourse with him. When any journal shows n like insensibility, it seems the proper thing to treat such journal with the like disregard. An illbred journal is worse than a cad in private life. As a matter of policy, aside from all considerations of docency and self-respect, it is best to ignore journalists who bring disgrace upon the profession which we are all bound to honor and respect. There ought to be no room for envy or jealousy among the journalists of the same city. It is to the advantage of every journal in any given locality, that any one of them is conducted with sufficient ability to earn recognition abroad. Every journal may be presumed to be devoted to the interests of the town or city where published, and what can be more favorable to any city than to have its journals make their mark upon the current literature of the time? Is it not clearly to the advantage of Columbus and every newspaper published here, to have paragraphs from every journal published here appear daily in all the newspa pers of the land? It should cause a feeling of local pride every time we see the work of a Columbus newspaper quoted in any journal outside the city; and the most that should be allowed to any one of us is the desire that we should have had the happiness of say ing the excellent thing which has been thought worthy to be transplanted into other soil. CAMBRIDGE. Death of an Ex-shcrifF-Tlie Soldiers' RcdiiIou. To the Editor of tbe Ohio Stato Journal : Cambridoe, Ohio, Aug. 11. The fu neral of ex-Sheriff W. B. Barnett took place to-day.

The Row at NarragausattPier-ltoU-cence of the Implicated Purlin to the Affair. Naiibaqansett Pier, R. I., Aug. 10. The summer residents of this fashionable watering place are in a quiver of excitement over the alleged fistic encounter between Senator Roscoe Conkling, of New York, and ex-Governor Sprague, of this State. How much truth there ia in the report it is very difficult to ascertain, for every one questioned professes entire ignorance or absolutely refuses to talk. As far sb it is possible to learn, the story is as follows: Governor Sprague and family occupy an elegant summer mansion at Narragansett Pier this season, as in years past; are enjoying the cool breezes and lovely view which the residence affords. It is Btated that for a few days past the Governor had been absent upon business, and upon his return found Senator Conkling a guest at Iub house, having been there, so it is understood, for quite a number of days, and of course without his (Sprague's) knowledge or consent. Report has it that the Governor waxed very angry, and ordered the Senator out, but that Roscoe refused to go. Words came thick and fast, and it is alleged that the Governor told Conkling that he had seen all that he cared of him in Washington and wanted nothing more to do with him, and again ordered him out of the house. Conkling not complying with this order he ran up stairs (so it is said) for a revolver, and when he returned the Senator was conspicuous by his absence. It appears that Governor Sprague has a very beautiful and attractive wife, but they do not live happily together. It is no secret, in fact it is said they are es tranged; that they seldom speak to acli other. Last winter Mra, bprague was in Washington, at Edgewood, her father's old mansion, in the suburbs of the city, her husband being at Providence. In the meanwhile Bhe had a reserved seat in the Senate Chamber, and was always there when Conkling had a speech to deliver, and Bhe almost invariably proceeded to her residence in the Senator's private carriage. It is well known in society circles at the Capital that Conkling, while ostensibly making his home at Woriuley b, passed a large portion of his time, both day and night, at Mrs. Sprague's house. Ihis is believed to be the cause of the trouble in the Sprague family. Rumor haa it that on Friday alternoon more trouble occurred between Sprague and Conkling. Ihe scene was JJillington a Cafe, on the jier, and the Btory of the affair ib as fol lows: Conkling was in the cafe eatiug Little Neck clams when Spragnc came down the pier and saw him. It ia said that he became very angry and rushed at him exclaiming: "Let me get at the damned scoundrel." Conkling bristled up and was ready to meet his aasailant, and there would undoubtedly nave been a little bloodshed if the bystanders and friends had not interfered. ReportB were circu lated that a pistol had been drawn, but they cannot be traced to any authentic source. Another Bide of the story is given. by which the French professor of the Governor's children is brought into unenviable notoriety. It is alleged that the iiovernor suspected the Frolessor of un due familiarity with his wife, and that uc so toia mm, ana mat tne result was a storm and the Frenchman's dismissal.

The following extracts, from an arti cle in the New York Times, show the more recent attitude of the courts re specting the legal rights of steam rail road travelers in tue matter oi tickets: A Mr. Falkner sustained the incon venience of being put off the cars. The company had found a good deal of in convenience from passengers riding on ircigiit trains, anu nau made a rule tnat no prson should be carried on a freight train unless he first bought a freight train ticket. I'alkuer would not take tho trouble to buy a ticket, but when the conductor came offered to pay fare. Conductor said he was forbidden to take fare must have a ticket. Passenger could not produce a ticket. Conductor stopped train nnd put him off. Lawsuit. Court said Hint a railroad com pany has a right to require passengers to buy tickets, bo talkner loses his lawsuit as well as his trip. A Airs, ureenwoort got upon the lreigui train, just as raisncr uia, witn- out the magic pasteboard, and the con ductor refused her tare and put her on. She proved that tho company had pre viously allowed passengers to pay fares on freight trains, and she had often traveled so, and had never heard of any new rule. The court said that under these circumstances she was entitled to damages. The company said that the rule had been posted in all the waiting rooms of the depot. The court saiu that made no difference if Mrs. Greenwood did not see tho notice She recovered $125 damages. Moreover, o conductor cannot put a tickctless passenger off in the wild woods, or wherever a train may happen to be when ho is found, but must run onward to tho next station, to a place where passengors are usually taken ana lelt, and where one can buy a ticket. The conductor put Mr. Flagg off when the train Btopped nt a water tank, a quarter of a mile distant from any station. There was a statute which said he might bo put off nt any "usual stopping place." And the company's lawyer argued that the tank was a usu- ual stopping place, tor, said lie, "tho trains usually stop there for water." Hut the judge sum that was ridiculous. mere was n commuter on a New Jer sey railroad who lost his ticket. The gatekeeper would not lot him go in nnd take the train, and he sued for damages. The company proved that the ticket contained conditions or notices: "No duplicate will be issued," and "this ticket must be shown to conductor each trip." The court said that these wore valid conditions, and when the traveler lost his ticket it was his loss; otherwise, every officer of the company would havo to recognize each trip every commuter who might loso a ticket, which would be too much to ex pect. There was a Portland man who bought at Portland two tickets by tho boston and Maine raiiroaa to uoston thinking ho could go on one nnd return on the other. Returning he offered his ticket reading "Portland to Boston" to the conductor running out of BoBton, but that conductor refused it and put him off. Lawsuit. But the court said the company could not be compelled to take the ticket except as it read, from Portland to Boston. The traveler argued that he had paid fairly for so many miles' travel, nnd it was just aa easy and choap to carry him one way ns tho other. Tho court said such a rule would make a great confusion m rat way business; tho company had a right to know, it they desired, which way travelers wore going so as to provide the right nuniner (it cam ana manage the trips conveniently to tho public. For a passenger to surrender his ticket when it is asked is so much a matter of cournc that there havo been very few lawsuits arising upon any one s retusnl In one caso the cars wero crowded, and when the conductor camo tho passengo THE BIG EXCURSION $6 TO CHAUTAUQUA LAKE Houml Trip ooi WEDNESDAY, Lrart's I'liion Doot ul 5:05 P.

He showed his ticket, but would not give it up, and said : "When yon get me a seat I will give you the ticket." The court said this was lawful. A passenger is not bound to pay fare if he is not furnished with a seat. Another case occurred in England. The races were approaching, and a man who wished to carry three horaes to the grounds, bought tickets thus: A first class for himself, three third class for three groom9,and one for three horses. He took a seat in the first class car, forward, and the grooms and horses had places in their cars to tne rear, out tho employer carried the tickets for the whole party. When the moment for starting came the managers of the train thought it wouiu ne too long, so they started the forward cars with one locomotive, and made the rear ones up with another. In the rear train, when the conduc tor found that the grooms nnd horses were without tickets, he refused to carry them. Meantime, the employer was traveling onward with the tick ets for the whole party. The court neiu unit an mis was tne company a fault, and the employer could recover damages, ine company had no business to divide the train, after the party wero nil seated, without giving them notice.

TO THE PUBLIC: IT A VINO MY ATTENTION CALLED to the advertised proposal of Mr. Thos. R. Marshall in the oity papers to sell his undivided half interest in the Palace Restaurant, allow me to ask a few questions of Mr. Marshall, iu order to set at rest me many inquiries and mnoh public speculation regm-ding our private businessand the manner in which he became my partner. I will ask Mr. Marshall: First Did you not agree to REFIT and fully stock the room we now occupy at your own personal eipenBe, and furnish the money for one half interest? Second Did you not aiso agree to give me your promissory note for $500 (in addition to the above), to be paid out of your share or part of the profits of the business at some future day? Thini WaB it not calculated and mutually agreed the cost of refitting the room, cost of new, completo stock, and the$o00 note would he equal to tlio oue-half of my whole investment and interest? Fourth Have you fully complied and carried out your part of the above agreement? Ia it not true that you did fail to furnish the money required, with the exception of perhaps $Cu0 or $700, and run the firm in debt for your own private eon-tracts, thereby making all agreements null and void? , Fifth Did you not purchase the stock and fixtures on credit? and did you not give the firms joint obligations for your own private contracts in many cascB? Sixth Were not many ofyourown bills paid out of the daily receipts of the business? and did you even ask me to grant the privilege? Seventh Was it not niv special rcouest. and did you not agree fully that there should be no credit asked, and that the business should be conducted strictly upon the cash basis? Eighth Is it not, to sav the least, extra. ordinary that you should claim, in consideration of the small cash investment of but a few hundred dollars, and for the short spaee of but four months time, that your undivided half interest is worth $3,000? How much of this enormous profit did you earn by actual labor? I win leave this question to be answered bv tha patrons of tho house. I don't think they have all been sleeping. And I will also ask if you think a confiding partner is to be considered asleep simply because he was indulgent and gave the reina as it were into the hands or his associate in business? Ninth I will close bv savins' that hurl the original agreement been executed by air, juurumui, as was his uuty, me money furnished aa he promised instead of now being in debt we would have had a fine bank balance to our credit over and above every necessary demand to run the Palace Restaurant.

Yesterday he had seventy-five men and forty-eight teams at work. Ab a atraw on the financial part of the road, Mr. Cohen pays his men to-day, the regular pay day being Friday. A desperate attempt was made Sunday night to throw several trains from the track on the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis road, near Springfield. A freight train going south ran upon a T rail laid across the track near Lagonda. By the watchfulness of tho engineer an accident was averted. The passenger expreiss leaving Springfield at one n. m. had a Bimilar experience, the road being obstructed at about the same point with several heavy kegs of spikes. Again the obstructions wero seen in time to prevent the throwing off of the oars. The circumstance was' telegraphed to Mechanicsburg, and those in charge of the south bound night express notified to bo on their guard and to run carefully by the place indicated. Sure enough, a third and more desperate attempt had been made, a long Jrail having been placed across the track and several thick, heavy planka laid on an incline upon it. Officers went out from Springfield and arrested three tramps, supposed to be the guilty parties, but they deny nil knowledge of tho affair, and tho only evidence against them bo far is that they were found near the place.

What ought to be done to a newspaper which publishes partisan special dispatches two days old, under heading as "Associated Press Dis patches" of yesterday? Is it fair dealing to palm off political buncombe for news? Is it tho perpendicular thing to quote a Democratic newspaper as an Associated Press dispatch? Tho average Democratic newspaper, you know, is about as much like a press dispatch as Ananias was like Epaminon- das. There seems to bo some mystery about the gathering of Democratic politicians at the Capital just now. Wo can explain it. Tho Democratic State Committee and the most promi nent men of tho party have met here to discuss our proposition for a joint debate between Ewing and Reemelin on the financial question. It was found that there was a demand for this thing the public mind, which had found voice in the State Journal, and it wbb deemed necessary to take the mat ter into consideration, It is thought best at present to hold in reserve all information as to steps taken, looking a meeting of these two greafcham- pions of opposing ideas on the subject the finances, but in due time we shall let our readers know full particulars. All who may wish to be informed on this subject should immediately subscribe for the State Journal. Reduced rates to clubs. The citizens of Steubenville will have the first opportunity to welcome our great Finance Minister to Ohio.., He makes his first speech in the Ohio cam paign at Steubenville, on the 20th of August. It is through his labors, more than any other man, that the Administration has brought about the resumption of specie payments, and the beginning of a new era of prosperity in every branch of business. This has been a work of sufficient difficulty in itself, but has been accomplished step by step against all the obstructions the Demo cratic party could devise. The worst and most deadly of these obstructives has been Thomas Ewing, who now asks us to make him Governor of Ohio. His assurance that resumption was impossible and that it would massacre the business of the country had hardly left his lips when resumption was an nc- complished fact, and the last echoes of Ewing's wail were drowned in the hum our reviving industries. In the light of facts Buch as these it is not difficult to Bee where statesmanship and safety to the country are to be found. If the people of Ohio are true to themselves their approval of the .Republican Administration will be no less marked than their disapproval of the obstructionists who have fought against the good time coming, with the energy of despair and the courage of a last hope. We should have mentioned yesterday that the Sunday Capital had an excellent article on "Journalistic Court esy." The Capital holds properly that courtesy is the characteristic of the gentleman, and it cannot see why jour nals, which may bo assumed to be edited and conducted by gentlemen, should not treat each other with the courtesy which rules among gentlemen, in their intercourse with each other. This seems to us sound as gospel truth. The readers of the State Journal will surely bear witness that it has uniformly met its contemporaries in this spirit. There is only one way for a gentleman to treat a blackguard who is insensible to the rules of courtesy, and that is, to decline intercourse with him. When any journal shows n like insensibility, it seems the proper thing to treat such journal with the like disregard. An illbred journal is worse than a cad in private life. As a matter of policy, aside from all considerations of docency and self-respect, it is best to ignore journalists who bring disgrace upon the profession which we are all bound to honor and respect. There ought to be no room for envy or jealousy among the journalists of the same city. It is to the advantage of every journal in any given locality, that any one of them is conducted with sufficient ability to earn recognition abroad. Every journal may be presumed to be devoted to the interests of the town or city where published, and what can be more favorable to any city than to have its journals make their mark upon the current literature of the time? Is it not clearly to the advantage of Columbus and every newspaper published here, to have paragraphs from every journal published here appear daily in all the newspa pers of the land? It should cause a feeling of local pride every time we see the work of a Columbus newspaper quoted in any journal outside the city; and the most that should be allowed to any one of us is the desire that we should have had the happiness of say ing the excellent thing which has been thought worthy to be transplanted into other soil.

The Row at NarragausattPier-ltoU-cence of the Implicated Purlin to the Affair. Naiibaqansett Pier, R. I., Aug. 10. The summer residents of this fashionable watering place are in a quiver of excitement over the alleged fistic encounter between Senator Roscoe Conkling, of New York, and ex-Governor Sprague, of this State. How much truth there ia in the report it is very difficult to ascertain, for every one questioned professes entire ignorance or absolutely refuses to talk. As far sb it is possible to learn, the story is as follows: Governor Sprague and family occupy an elegant summer mansion at Narragansett Pier this season, as in years past; are enjoying the cool breezes and lovely view which the residence affords. It is Btated that for a few days past the Governor had been absent upon business, and upon his return found Senator Conkling a guest at Iub house, having been there, so it is understood, for quite a number of days, and of course without his (Sprague's) knowledge or consent. Report has it that the Governor waxed very angry, and ordered the Senator out, but that Roscoe refused to go. Words came thick and fast, and it is alleged that the Governor told Conkling that he had seen all that he cared of him in Washington and wanted nothing more to do with him, and again ordered him out of the house. Conkling not complying with this order he ran up stairs (so it is said) for a revolver, and when he returned the Senator was conspicuous by his absence. It appears that Governor Sprague has a very beautiful and attractive wife, but they do not live happily together. It is no secret, in fact it is said they are es tranged; that they seldom speak to acli other. Last winter Mra, bprague was in Washington, at Edgewood, her father's old mansion, in the suburbs of the city, her husband being at Providence. In the meanwhile Bhe had a reserved seat in the Senate Chamber, and was always there when Conkling had a speech to deliver, and Bhe almost invariably proceeded to her residence in the Senator's private carriage. It is well known in society circles at the Capital that Conkling, while ostensibly making his home at Woriuley b, passed a large portion of his time, both day and night, at Mrs. Sprague's house. Ihis is believed to be the cause of the trouble in the Sprague family. Rumor haa it that on Friday alternoon more trouble occurred between Sprague and Conkling. Ihe scene was JJillington a Cafe, on the jier, and the Btory of the affair ib as fol lows: Conkling was in the cafe eatiug Little Neck clams when Spragnc came down the pier and saw him. It ia said that he became very angry and rushed at him exclaiming: "Let me get at the damned scoundrel." Conkling bristled up and was ready to meet his aasailant, and there would undoubtedly nave been a little bloodshed if the bystanders and friends had not interfered. ReportB were circu lated that a pistol had been drawn, but they cannot be traced to any authentic source. Another Bide of the story is given. by which the French professor of the Governor's children is brought into unenviable notoriety. It is alleged that the iiovernor suspected the Frolessor of un due familiarity with his wife, and that uc so toia mm, ana mat tne result was a storm and the Frenchman's dismissal. The above facts seem to be all that can be gathered at present. Governor sprague waB on the train from Narragansett Pier for Providence thia evening, and the reporter interview- cd him. The Governor positively re fused to give any of the facts in the case. ile said that it was purely a family mat. ter, and tnat the pumio would have no possible interest in the anair.

The following extracts, from an arti cle in the New York Times, show the more recent attitude of the courts re specting the legal rights of steam rail road travelers in tue matter oi tickets: A Mr. Falkner sustained the incon venience of being put off the cars. The company had found a good deal of in convenience from passengers riding on ircigiit trains, anu nau made a rule tnat no prson should be carried on a freight train unless he first bought a freight train ticket. I'alkuer would not take tho trouble to buy a ticket, but when the conductor came offered to pay fare. Conductor said he was forbidden to take fare must have a ticket. Passenger could not produce a ticket. Conductor stopped train nnd put him off. Lawsuit. Court said Hint a railroad com pany has a right to require passengers to buy tickets, bo talkner loses his lawsuit as well as his trip. A Airs, ureenwoort got upon the lreigui train, just as raisncr uia, witn- out the magic pasteboard, and the con ductor refused her tare and put her on. She proved that tho company had pre viously allowed passengers to pay fares on freight trains, and she had often traveled so, and had never heard of any new rule. The court said that under these circumstances she was entitled to damages. The company said that the rule had been posted in all the waiting rooms of the depot. The court saiu that made no difference if Mrs. Greenwood did not see tho notice She recovered $125 damages. Moreover, o conductor cannot put a tickctless passenger off in the wild woods, or wherever a train may happen to be when ho is found, but must run onward to tho next station, to a place where passengors are usually taken ana lelt, and where one can buy a ticket. The conductor put Mr. Flagg off when the train Btopped nt a water tank, a quarter of a mile distant from any station. There was a statute which said he might bo put off nt any "usual stopping place." And the company's lawyer argued that the tank was a usu- ual stopping place, tor, said lie, "tho trains usually stop there for water." Hut the judge sum that was ridiculous. mere was n commuter on a New Jer sey railroad who lost his ticket. The gatekeeper would not lot him go in nnd take the train, and he sued for damages. The company proved that the ticket contained conditions or notices: "No duplicate will be issued," and "this ticket must be shown to conductor each trip." The court said that these wore valid conditions, and when the traveler lost his ticket it was his loss; otherwise, every officer of the company would havo to recognize each trip every commuter who might loso a ticket, which would be too much to ex pect. There was a Portland man who bought at Portland two tickets by tho boston and Maine raiiroaa to uoston thinking ho could go on one nnd return on the other. Returning he offered his ticket reading "Portland to Boston" to the conductor running out of BoBton, but that conductor refused it and put him off. Lawsuit. But the court said the company could not be compelled to take the ticket except as it read, from Portland to Boston.

He showed his ticket, but would not give it up, and said : "When yon get me a seat I will give you the ticket." The court said this was lawful. A passenger is not bound to pay fare if he is not furnished with a seat. Another case occurred in England. The races were approaching, and a man who wished to carry three horaes to the grounds, bought tickets thus: A first class for himself, three third class for three groom9,and one for three horses. He took a seat in the first class car, forward, and the grooms and horses had places in their cars to tne rear, out tho employer carried the tickets for the whole party. When the moment for starting came the managers of the train thought it wouiu ne too long, so they started the forward cars with one locomotive, and made the rear ones up with another. In the rear train, when the conduc tor found that the grooms nnd horses were without tickets, he refused to carry them. Meantime, the employer was traveling onward with the tick ets for the whole party. The court neiu unit an mis was tne company a fault, and the employer could recover damages, ine company had no business to divide the train, after the party wero nil seated, without giving them notice.

TO THE PUBLIC: IT A VINO MY ATTENTION CALLED to the advertised proposal of Mr. Thos. R. Marshall in the oity papers to sell his undivided half interest in the Palace Restaurant, allow me to ask a few questions of Mr. Marshall, iu order to set at rest me many inquiries and mnoh public speculation regm-ding our private businessand the manner in which he became my partner. I will ask Mr. Marshall: First Did you not agree to REFIT and fully stock the room we now occupy at your own personal eipenBe, and furnish the money for one half interest? Second Did you not aiso agree to give me your promissory note for $500 (in addition to the above), to be paid out of your share or part of the profits of the business at some future day? Thini WaB it not calculated and mutually agreed the cost of refitting the room, cost of new, completo stock, and the$o00 note would he equal to tlio oue-half of my whole investment and interest? Fourth Have you fully complied and carried out your part of the above agreement? Ia it not true that you did fail to furnish the money required, with the exception of perhaps $Cu0 or $700, and run the firm in debt for your own private eon-tracts, thereby making all agreements null and void? , Fifth Did you not purchase the stock and fixtures on credit? and did you not give the firms joint obligations for your own private contracts in many cascB? Sixth Were not many ofyourown bills paid out of the daily receipts of the business? and did you even ask me to grant the privilege? Seventh Was it not niv special rcouest. and did you not agree fully that there should be no credit asked, and that the business should be conducted strictly upon the cash basis? Eighth Is it not, to sav the least, extra. ordinary that you should claim, in consideration of the small cash investment of but a few hundred dollars, and for the short spaee of but four months time, that your undivided half interest is worth $3,000? How much of this enormous profit did you earn by actual labor? I win leave this question to be answered bv tha patrons of tho house. I don't think they have all been sleeping. And I will also ask if you think a confiding partner is to be considered asleep simply because he was indulgent and gave the reina as it were into the hands or his associate in business? Ninth I will close bv savins' that hurl the original agreement been executed by air, juurumui, as was his uuty, me money furnished aa he promised instead of now being in debt we would have had a fine bank balance to our credit over and above every necessary demand to run the Palace Restaurant.

A desperate attempt was made Sunday night to throw several trains from the track on the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis road, near Springfield. A freight train going south ran upon a T rail laid across the track near Lagonda. By the watchfulness of tho engineer an accident was averted. The passenger expreiss leaving Springfield at one n. m. had a Bimilar experience, the road being obstructed at about the same point with several heavy kegs of spikes. Again the obstructions wero seen in time to prevent the throwing off of the oars. The circumstance was' telegraphed to Mechanicsburg, and those in charge of the south bound night express notified to bo on their guard and to run carefully by the place indicated. Sure enough, a third and more desperate attempt had been made, a long Jrail having been placed across the track and several thick, heavy planka laid on an incline upon it. Officers went out from Springfield and arrested three tramps, supposed to be the guilty parties, but they deny nil knowledge of tho affair, and tho only evidence against them bo far is that they were found near the place.
